I am having troubles in 5.9RC3 with messaging programs as well. Looks like some changes in the msn protocol messed up the things a little. We use a webcam to chat with Vanesa's family (they live in Puerto Madryn, far far away). So I compiled aMsn to get cam support, but it complains about tlc / TSL. They are used by the msn protocol now. I think it is installed, but the apps can't find the path. I compiled tlc from source with no success. I am a little lost right now, but still looking for a solution.

BTW, I compiled the gspca module without problems and the camera is working. I though getting the camera to work could be hard, but was really easy. I tested the camera with aMsn and skype, looking foward for wengophone and others.

the thing is, that somehow i don't feel comfortable in vector to compile from source. i don't know my way around - should i use checkinstall, should i not (it was broken and a lot of peeps i know advise against it). i didn't find a vector package for that qca-tls plugin which is needed for gtalk. so it's not really a kopete problem, it's my vector newbie problem. and it's really your fault for being such a nice community that i feel comfortable enough to ask questions, which i never really do

Well, after some digging, I have to say I cant make any app to see the tsl package. I didn't tried kopete yet, but aMsn still complains about it, even when it is installed. Something weird is going on. I suspect Pegazeka is experiencing the same problem.

Might recompilation be necessary?

Perhaps, aMsn has an option in the gui to set the path to the libs, but obviously is not working. I dropped this in favor of some issues with the nvidia drivers, but already solved them. The problem was the nice and 'user friendly' nvidia wizard was making a bad xorg.conf. I guess is another point for Kidd and yourself in favor of the cli . Man xorg.conf gave all what I need.So I am back with this. I will recompile tomorrow.

Hi pegazeka, I managed to get aMsn working recompiling tcl, tk, tls and finally amsn. Google say everybody is experiencing some problems with this. I will try to clean my machine and give a shot to kopete so I can help you better.

well, installed kopete from slapt-get expecting to get some error message, but it worked out of the box. How did you install it? What error do you get? Perhaps my work for amsn did the trick for kopete too, but I doubt it, I was expecting a recompile for kopete too. I tell you what I did for amsn just in case: I compiled tcl, tk, and tls in that order. I passed the path to them through ./configure, for example, ./configure --with-tcl=/path/to/tcl for tk, and so on. Thats all. I can't remember if I had to get openssl from the repo or it is by default in vl, you can check if you have it through gslapt, or take a look into /var/log/packages. Let us know.
